**Integrating Cryptocurrencies and Traditional Financial Assets for Orderly Wealth
Succession Among Hong Kong High-Net-Worth Families**

HONG KONG, Nov. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Futu Trustee, a wholly owned trust subsidiary
of Nasdaq-listed Futu Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: FUTU), today announced the launch
of its Digital Asset Family Trust. Tailored primarily for Hong Kong tax resident
high-net-worth families and family offices—with a minimum combined asset threshold
of US$3 million—the service incorporates mainstream cryptocurrencies and traditional
financial assets within a single trust legal framework to coordinate asset holding,
custody integration, day-to-day management and cross-generational succession.

From Investment to Legacy: One-Stop Management with Futu’s Digital Asset Family 
Trust

As digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) gradually become part of
high-net-worth families’ asset portfolios, the challenges of assets being scattered
across different wallets and platforms, with private keys and operational knowledge
concentrated in one individual’s hands, are becoming increasingly apparent. Should
the holder suffer an accident or become incapacitated, family members often face
continuity risks: they may not know where the assets are held, lack authority to
access them or not know how to manage them. Building on Hong Kong’s maturing digital
asset regulatory ecosystem, Futu Trustee aims to help clients incorporate digital
wealth into their overall family planning early.

The Digital Asset Family Trust is designed around two core practical priorities 
for high-net-worth clients:

 ◦ **Unified Governance of Equities and Cryptocurrencies**: Clients may incorporate
   accepted mainstream digital assets such as BTC and ETH alongside Hong Kong and
   US equities, ETFs and other traditional financial assets within one trust framework,
   with connections to Hong Kong licensed securities firms, banks and licensed virtual
   asset trading platforms as needed, reducing repeated cross-platform coordination(
   relevant securities, banking and virtual asset platform services are independently
   provided by the respective licensed entities).

 ◦ **Retained Investment Authority with Segregated Controls**: Under permitted reserved
   powers or authorisations pursuant to the trust deed and Hong Kong law, clients
   may continue to participate in or direct investment matters within a permitted
   scope (or express intentions via a letter of wishes for the trustee’s reference
   in appointing an appropriately licensed investment adviser in accordance with
   the trust terms). Trading authority is strictly separated from withdrawal authority,
   with all withdrawals and distributions required to follow trust procedures, balancing
   flexibility and asset security.

**Ben Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Futu Trustee**, said: "For many Hong Kong 
residents, digital wealth is more than figures on a screen—it represents years of
investment judgment and accumulation. While many clients know clearly how to manage
their digital assets, they may not have had the opportunity to explain their accounts,
authorisations and succession wishes in a way their families can easily understand.
By launching the Digital Asset Family Trust, we aim to provide clear holding structures,
professional custody and continuity mechanisms, helping clients put in place a more
considered long-term arrangement for themselves and their families."
